Game review - Mega Marble Run Pit 0.1.7

Mega Marble Run Pit 0.1.7



Construction - 9/10
The building is not THAT complex, but very impressive! There is Marble's tracks everywhere, in a huge tube in the center of the map. There's also 

Scripting - 8/10
Not a lot of scripting, the Marble are very good. Your character can't move in, and your camera follow the movement of it.

Gameplay - 7/10
Some people could get bored fast.
There is maybe 15-20 runs, each a different color. At the end your ball disappear and there's a button you press that give you points and then teleport you to the start, where you can choose another track, or go to the shop!

Overall - 8/10
It is definitely a game to try! 
Here's some pictures

Hat Rumor: Sunwalker

I've been hearing rumors all over Let's Make a Deal about the new grind coming out.

People are saying it is going to be called Sunwalker. Picture below
This hat was uploaded as a model by polfy99. He is known for leaking upcoming hats, so who knows, this might come out!


These hats are all known to being 7R$ and having 100 in stock.

Just a warning, keep your hat notifiers out, it might come out!

Do you think it's a plain ol' lie or do you think it will come out? Post in the comments below!

Game Review - Globe Theatre

Globe Theatre


Construction - 9/10
This place is true art, it was built a by an EBR Member (artxia98)
The place is pretty small, but still very impressive





Scripting - 0/10
There is just no script at all

Gameplay - 6/10
Nothing much to do, you can have your gears, explore the three stages.
But else, the place is very small. Not a lot to explore.

Overall - 7/10
Pretty nice game, but still need some improvement, and maybe adding more part to the theatre.

Toothy Cap - By DignitysHQ

Mesh - 5/10 The mesh is from ROBLOX Cap which was released in 2011, I personally hate that cap mesh as it is too small, a mesh of Baseball Cap would be just right.

Texture - 8/10 Looks like a stuffed animal which is what I thought they were aiming for. It is a nice cap, if you wanted something that looks ok and is not that expensive.


Value - 50R$ This sold for 50 robux before going limited, if you were lucky enough to snag one before the 5000 remaining ran out, you would over made a 100robux profit. I myself bought one for 50 ROBUX and make a 125robux profit the next day, it is currently increasing so get yourself one now!

Overall - 6.8/10 I don't think it should be limited, however if it wasn't limited it probally would of sold for 15-30robux.

Hat review - Simple Gent's Cap

Simple Gent's Cap


Mesh - 8/10
Pretty good mesh, not too complicated and not too simple.
The perfect hat for Top Hats Lover.



Texture - 7/10
The texture is pretty simple. Plus, its symmetric.
Not too hard to re-texture. Could be a personal challenge.


Value - 9/10
This hat is definitively the cheapest top hat you can get! Only 85R$

Overall - 8/10
Good hat, doesn't cost too much, and worth it.
You can be sure I will buy it when I can!



Remember to vote for this month's building contest!

We want our fans to decide what contest theme we'll be doing.

Game Review: The Wind


Construction - 10/10 The construction is great. The c-framing is epic, and the close details are awesome. I am glad that ROBLOX also reviewed this game and it got a chance to be in EBR (Elite Builders of ROBLOXia)


Scripting - 10/10 The scripting is terrific from the wind blowing and the sounds throughout the game.


Gameplay - 8/10 There's nothing you can really do but walk around and explore the beauty of what you can create on ROBLOX with a vivid imagination.


Overall -  9/10 Great game.
In the secret cave. Find it yourself. Hint: Hole.

Inside the house.
On the bridge outside of the house.

Revox Regiment - Group Review


Members - 300+ - Revox Regiment is currently running ads, and is gaining members by the hundreds.


Leader - Zuf 


Activity - 9 - Great activity, there are usually 12+ members at group events.


Skill - 8.5 - RR has pretty skilled members, I participated in a training and never won anything out of the SFT, two FFAs and other games.


Overall - 8.7 - Overall, this is a nice group. They have skilled members, and a great leader, along with high ranks. It'd be a nice group to join.

The Doombringer - Package Review


Mesh - 9.5 - Very nice mesh, definitely one of the most detailed meshes on ROBLOX so far.


Texture - 9 - Pretty nice texture, love the coloring and the designs on it.


Value - 8 - This package is pretty pricey, but you'd expect that, because it is very detailed. 


Overall - 8.8 - Overall, this is a nice package, for sure one of the best on ROBLOX. Start saving up though, it is selling for 1,250 Robux. But, in my opinion, it's all worth it.

What would you like next month's BUILDING contest to be?

We'd like our fans to select what theme in which they will build in the next month's building contest.

Group review - RUSF

RUSF
(RUSF Mean ROBLOXian United Strike Force)


Members - 
The group has been existing since 2011, and have about 4 000 members. 
They gain many new members per day.

Leader -
The leader of the group has been Atomicwaldo since the start. He is highly respected by the members since he did a lot for the group.

Activity - 8/10 
The group is pretty active. They have at least one training per day, even during the week.
They don't raid A LOT, but when they do, they win most of the time.

Skill - 9/10
They are VERY skilled! I've fought with them many times (I'm in the group) during trainings, or when we were raiding groups. They use guns like - Pistol, Assault, Sniper, etc. and swords. They're very good with both of them.

Overall - 8/10
Nice group, the High Ranks, the members and the Leader are Friendly. 
I think its a group to try. Plus, they're fair. 
They do respect their enemies.

Classy Cloche - Hat Review



Mesh - 4 - Not a very stylish mesh at all. Looks like a weird figure that would barely fit on your robloxian's head.


Texture - 3 - The texture is really boring and pretty ugly, too. 


Value - 2 - Not very rare or anything, just a 45 robux hat.


Overall - 3 - Overall, this is definitely not ROBLOX's best hat they've created. I wouldn't reccomend buying this, it seems like a waste of robux.

From a little seed to a BIG sale!



Attention guys! The little seed has sold 30,000 examples! This may cause problem because ROBLOX said something would come out from it but if  it's so famous ROBLOX is going to make a smaller reward, this is my "Little Seed Theory" because ROBLOX exists for entertainment for kids and money but if all people get like a Domino Crown no one would buy Builders Club or Robux. I'm not saying that a Domino Crown was going to come out from that little seed but you get the point. I think it will come out a small gear or hat.


Daring Beard Review

                                                               
  Hey! I'm the new staff member Madagaskar, I would love to show you a face that many of you know the.... daring beard!
Daring Beard


Originality - 1 - Not original at all, recently made but it was really good and over 10,000 bought!


Texture - 5- I love the texture, it looks like Chuck Norris and you feel like Chuck Norris when you wear it...


Value - 3 - 100 robux


Overall - 3 - The beard is too big and a really bad name but everything else on texture is good :)

Dynamic Lighting Review

hio everyone! I'm airplanejoe, a writer here at ROBLOX Newscast.

Today, I'll be reviewing Dynamic Lighting.



This is a work of art that is beyond a masterpiece.
It is beautiful and has left me speechless.

I love dynamic lighting. The possibilities are endless. From police sirens, to street lamps, it's epic. Absolutely epic. This is literally candy for your eye.

I am addicted to dynamic lighting. I have successfully created a flashlight, torch, streetlamp, and more.

Dynamic lighting hasn't been released to ROBLOX yet, which is great because on GameTest2 you can test it out before everyone else. If you want to see dynamic lighting, go now, you have ultimate bragging rights and show off your epic creations. 

I will be posting more about this, so stay tuned.

Game review - Sandbox By REDALERT2

Sandbox (NBC)_Image


Construction - 7/10
Simple baseplate, walls, and places to build.
In this game, YOU build!

Scripting - 8/10
Not so much scripting, simple tools and an helping bot that will help you in case.
There is also some GUIs like, A save GUI, Teleport to base, etc.

Gameplay - 9/10
I LOVE this game, you can spend hours there without getting bored.
You can save your creations to show them to your friends, so you can build more than only 1 building!

Overall - 8/10
Nice game in general, simple, fun. 
A classic what.
Playing the game

What do you like about ROBLOX Newscast?

I've put together a survey asking our blog viewers what they like about ROBLOX Newscast. Here are the results so far.




Recycled Cardboard Shades - Hat Review


Recycled Cardboard Shades



Mesh - 7 - Pretty stylish mesh, but it's just a retexture of Peach Thug Shades.


Texture - 5 - Not a very stylish texture, at all. The shades are made out of cardboard, looking like something a little kid would make out of a cardboard box.


Value - 3 - Not a high value at all. It sold for 25 robux and to 15,000 people. Practically every BC member on ROBLOX could afford this.


Overall - 5 - Overall, not a very good hat. You could probably make a little bit of profit off of it, but not much. Also would not be a very good trading item, unless you like to trade really small items.

Hat Review: Domino Crown


Domino Crown Review:




Mesh - 10/10 I love how it has a unique mesh, and has 3 domino stand ups.


Texture - 9/10 I like the domino dots and the golden color to represent fame and wealth.


Value - 10/10 This has a high value, since only a couple were given out. I would say this could be worth 2 million ROBUX. It is currently selling for 69 Billion ROBUX which is an outrageous price.

Other info - I, airplanejoe, used to own the Domino Crown. I sold it to someone, his name was Rocks with 2 numbers. I sold it for 1,200,000 ROBUX. It's gone now since I bought so many things.


Overall - 9/10 Pretty good hat, worth its value, and more.



Roblox Derby 2 - Game Review

Roblox Derby 2 by MARIOSTAR6464
 
 
Construction - 8 - Simple maps, some wedges for cars to run over, and most of the cars are simple.
 
 
 
 
 
Scripting - 10 - Amazing scripting. The camera changes its view when you drive your destruction machine, there are great GUIs, smoke comes out of the car when it is driving, and more!
 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Gameplay - 10 - I love playing this game, even though I can admit I'm not as good as the average player of it. I love driving my car and crashing into other cars, sometimes sending the driver flying. Also, believe it or not, it's actually fun seeing yourself get run over by another car.
 
 


I learn what it's like to get run over
 
 
 
Overall - 9.3 - I love the scripting and the gameplay, and the simplicity of the building. This game was really fun, but at the same time, I had to admire the creator's scripting. It was fantastic.





Base Wars: The Land Review ~By DignitysHQ or funnysad~


Base Wars: The Land by d4rk886

Construction - 8/10 The map is fairly easy to make but may have took him some time. There are basically 3 bases, one is on an island, the others are opposite of each over, that way you can infiltrate their bases quickly and easily and maybe even get an extra base (3rd one.) 

Scripting - 10/10 Easy scripting again, but the time it must've took him is extraordinary. I especially like the custom gun GUI where you can choose different Combos e.g: Dagger with sniper and tactical grenade.


Gameplay - 8/10 The scope is too fast so it's hard to shoot someone from long distance, d4rk should take a copy of 1dev2 (1dev3)'s Paintball scope, its swift, not too fast, and it's easy to shoot from long distance.



Overall - 8.8/10 A fairly good game, I play it once every week or 2, it's a good game to waste some time and kill some noobs :)

Remember to take a look at the ROBLOX's contests hosted on Its official blog!

Hat Review: Thrift Shop Fedora


Thrift Shop Fedora Review:



Mesh - 9/10 It has a couple unnecessary bumps around the mesh, but it's fine otherwise.


Texture - 10/10 I like how it has a 4 color band, and a black/blue fabric.


Value - 10/10 It is worth 200 ROBUX, but it is now LimitedU and selling for a price of 1,200 ROBUX as of right now.


Overall - 9/10 Pretty good hat, I suggest buying it if you want to pop some tags and go thrift shopping with Macklemore.


Gear review - Implosion Bomb

Implosion Bomb
The gear

Implosion bomb is a gear that will do the effect of a black hole, destroying any humanoid in its explosion. 


Mesh - 8/10
The mesh look like a tube. The mesh is pretty simple compared to many gears, but doesn't affect really much  how the gear look like because the colors are good and realistic.
In my opinion, the gear is way too oversize. Its almost high as your character!

Texture - 9/10
VERY realistic. It look like if it was real metal, and the ''Control panel'' Look like a real one. 
The blue has a glowing effect (The color, the gear do not glow!) , making the gear look real.

Value  - 6/10
Pretty expensive for what it do, 750 robux.
Plus, it is BC only. NBC will have to play Catalog Heaven to use it.

Overall - 7/10
Pretty good gear in general, but expensive. 
Good for close combat or when there is many enemies. 
I would recommend it for Sci-fi lovers.

Our staff member TheAgonizingGuy Testing it ;)






Korblox General Package Review ~By DignitysHQ or Funnysad~


Mesh - 9/10 It is a bit too big and it might get annoying after awhile, if they made it smaller it would be a 10/10 overall its still a very good mesh.


Texture - 9.5/10 Beautifully textured, it made it look like ice popping out of his shoulder, which is a great way to use a texture. It was a little repetitive, but its still a nice texture 9.5/10. 


Value - 9/10 I think it shouldn't be for 1.5k I think it should be for 700 robux as it looks just about right.


Overall - 9.8/10 It is a good package, if you ever have 1.5k to spare just go out and buy yourself this package, it is one of the best in whole of ROBLOXia.

Saturday, April 20, 2013


Construction- 9 - The map is very big and detailed. Building are okay. Cars are very good.

Scripting- 10 - The scripting is VERY good. It has a wonderful GUI on the left side of the screen, and it doesn't glitch(For Me) and is very detailed. Every button you press, happens within seconds.

Gameplay- 9.8 - The game is very fun. You can choose to Role Play [RP] as a robber, cop, and much more! 

Overall- 9.6 - This is a great game to go and just hang out with friends at. You can really do anything there. I recommend this game to the ROBLOXians who love to role play!
